Long range stealth sniping across open Italian maps earns Sniper Elite 4 a score of 83.4, top 40% of the games we analyzed.

👍 Strengths

116 reviews call it fun, praising the gunplay, and some say it is the best entry in the series for them. Gameplay ranks 254th of 1396. 75 like how it looks, from good graphics and well made environments to satisfying slow motion kill shots. Visuals & Sound ranks 452nd of 1249. 52 value the freedom of large sandbox maps that allow different ways to reach each target, whether quietly or from far away. Multiplayer ranks 277th of 642, and Tech & Support ranks 216th of 1399.

👎 Where it falls short

28 reviews find the formula repetitive, saying the core loop of waiting and sniping grows stale after several hours. 27 say it can be hard in frustrating ways, some singling out close range fights once stealth breaks down, and a few call the top difficulty genuinely tough. 25 want more content, describing a short campaign with too few missions, and some dislike that extra guns and maps sit in a season pass. Content Volume ranks 664th of 1351, and Story & World ranks 924th of 1096.
